Fifteenth Sunday In Ordinary Time

Contributed by Paul Andrew on May 31, 2022

I can’t help but think it was Mother Teresa’s having to suffer the loss of her father, who was murdered when she was a child, that directed her to a life of mercy.

Jesus is asked 183 questions of which he only answers 3. The expert asked a question wanting to test Jesus and he got an answer.

Being Renewed (Graduation Sunday) Series

Contributed by Amiri Hooker on Jun 5, 2021

Consider even Jesus’ family, for example. The New Testament preserves evidence suggesting that Jesus’ relationship with ...read more
